It is definitely not necessary on the 926 Consumer Edition as of course it is not currently possible to unlock the BL at this time. It may be different on the 925, but u doubt it.

Regardless of what you do your gonna void your warranty no matter what,if its a simple root or flash anything your voiding it,and you don't need to have an unlocked bootloader to downgrade back to ics
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoinCoin88:
Ok, so p-maybe the problem is not the locked BL... but the fact that probably many people here aren't using the Verizon 925 but the "international" XT-925 model (which is disclamed as "not supported" in Matt's tool's thread).

I'd definitely be willing to give it a try again to downgrade it, but IIRC the last time I tried, option 1 started well then ended up with some errors (can't actually remember what was written). Took like 5 minutes, a bunch of errors here and there on prompt, rebooted the phone, and was still on 4.1.1.

So either this is the "international XT-925 not supported thing", or there's somethign I did wrong (like, extracting a bug report with the key combination or i-don't-now-what-else). Just to be sure we're on the same page, are we all talking about the international XT-925 ? Or is this where we are misunderstanding ??

unlocked or rooted?

HELP!

I have gone around with a motorola RAZR M only to be told by motorola that it couldn't be rooted. I have several posts in the general discussions area of the RAZR M. Motorola told me that I HAD to have a developer edition phone to unlock the bootloader. I did that. They told me that with the bootloader unlocked it would be considered rooted. That isn't true. I think I was misled or maybe uninformed. The phone that I got from them is a XT926dev. I voided the warranty, unlocked the bootloader and nothing has really changed. All the root dependent apps say it isn't rooted.

What am I not doing that completes the root? I have root checker and it's sole requirement for root appears to be whether or not superuser and su.binary are installed in the root sectors. Can anybody lead me into the light? I'm scared of the dark.

You maybe have unlocked the Bootloader, but that does not necessary means, you are rooted.

First think on which Firmware is you XT926, is it on 4.0.4 or is it on 4.1.2

If you are on 4.0.4, read this Thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1943851

If you are on 4.1.2 and your bootloader really is unlocked, read this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2118483

If you are on 4.1.2 and your phone is VERIZON xt926 and your bootloader is locked:

Try Matts Tool to downgrade. Then do the first step i mentioned

Next time please inform yourself about the things you want to do. This should be the first thing. If you dont know the difference between an unlocked bootloader and root access, you should propably not try to mess with these kind of things.

Maybe Motorola Service Workers aren't the right people to ask about stuff like that...

But well hope i helped you out of the dark, greetz Esok
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saloums7:
If you have the XT925 RAZR HD and don't want to downgrade, for now you have to unlock your BL, flash CWM and flash SuperSU through CWM (you can find the flashable zip on the chainfire.eu). Or you could wait for an exploit to come.

Thanks for the links, I'll try it. I tried to get information about what I'm doing from the manufacturer. You can see where that has gotten me. I have tried others too. It is a simple thing to share & part with knowledge. I still haven't gotten anybody to set me straight on any differences between unlocked boot & root. So, this is my attempt at informing myself.

Mine is 4.1.1, as usual I have fallen between the cracks!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esok44:
Well, then try the method, using matts tool to downgrade and then using the normal 4.0.4 method to root ;)

Should be the easiest method ;)

before downgrading, make sure that you save all relevant things, like pictures, etc on your external sd-card, they will get lost with the downgrade, i think ;)

Good luck Esok

Yes, i did after a dozen or so attempts in a row using both matt's tool (drjbliss's process) and root android's process. Alternating the running of the batches until it took.

I can get back up to the last ICS build though. I believe I need to remove the safestrap utility in order to upgrade. I've uninstalled it but it is embedded in the system rom.

Any ideas?

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantsDownJedi:
We need a sticky thread, with someone willing to maintain it as development progresses, that explains the differences between various questions as they apply to the XT925 and the XT926. Its really annoying to continually run into misinformation, or posts like "I did it a bunch of times on my XT926, hit thanks if this was helpful" when the op is about the XT925.

I would do it but I'm new to Motorola and haven't used many of the tools. My previous phone experience with rooting has been either flashing a modified kernel from the running phone and reboot, adb sideload supersu.zip, install supersu.zip from stock recovery, etc. I never had to mess with fastboot and CWM was just a matter of rooting and installing it or installing a kernel that supported it as a replacement for stock recovery, and even loading it from the sdcard when needed from the stock recovery on a temporary basis.

In any case, it would be nice to have a thread to link to every time someone fails to read XT925 or XT926, or simply is unaware of the differences with what tools are available for them.

Ideally, there would be different sub-forums for the two different models given their own unique limitations at the current time.

Perhaps if a moderator agreed to sticky such a thread, then someone would volunteer to write it and maintain it?

To repeat, for the original poster, what others have said, Matts utility is exclusive to the XT926. The international version, the XT925, is clearly stated as not just unsupported, but specifically "will not work" on the XT925 at the time of this post. The only indication of development for the 925, by that developer, on the tool is that he doesn't consider the XT925 a "real Droid". There isn't anything definitive about it ever working for the 925 by the author, though his allusion doesn't mean he won't get bored and give it a go, or that someone else won't look at the work and figure it out.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jabeth407:
I agree, the misinformation with smart phones in general is amazing. I haven't gotten any of my questions answered so its hard to find the truth.

I'm picking my way thru the operating system. I've got the developer kit, I'll start answering those questions.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoClifGo05:
I understand it can be confusing but the problem is there are three different versions of the XT926. The consumer HD, Maxx HD and the developer HD... the reason you are seeing "this will work on the XT926 also" is because it will on the xt926 developer edition....

The XT925 + XT926 developer edition can be rooted directly on JB through TWRP or CWM.

Its not misinformation its just 4 different phones (XT925 and the 3 XT926's) all share one area as you said.... you just have to read carefully and ask if anything is unclear.

Oh, that clears up a few things. I'll flash the recovery soon then. I had a helluva time getting root. That's before i learned the OS differences. I would like to see the exact process taken by this phone that allowed root. I past posted about it, using matt's tool. Amazing results! Happy days now, i do want to complete your process for custom recovery & install some better ROMs.

Hello

Whenever I have my headphones in, the music plays through the headphones. However, notifications and such if they're turned on will produce sound through the external speaker even if headphones are in. Is there a way to disable this feature? I was hoping it would be possible to disable the external speaker when headphones are in, and only produce sound through the headphones.

Thanks for reading!

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eRadicant:
So I received my Nexus 10 a couple of days ago. I updated it first and kept it completely stock.

Since then I have had 2 random freezes. I resolve them by holding the power button and rebooting.

Just a few minutes ago, I connected my device to the PC via USB (not my first time), and tried to transfer some files but nothing was working on my PC (I could view the files but couldn't transfer). So I rebooted my tablet and discovered my internal storage had been wiped.

I am not impressed at all as I have lost some photos and other stuff which I was just about to back up...

Very disappointed actually
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vaggz:
Hi,

first of all sorry if my questions are too noobish and if my english is not very clear

I have read various threads on modding, theming and compiling/decompiling

I have a tablet running Android 4.0.4. It is rooted.

I am trying to customize the system (combined, if you prefer) bar, initially removing the Clock. More icons will follow.

I followed the steps:

a. pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk

b. install framework

c. decompile

d. edit

e. recompile

f. open original and edited apk's and copy the changed files to the original

g. signed and aligned

h. pushed SystemUI.apk back to /system/app

Initially I removed the Clock reference from status_bar.xml. Once I reinstalled and rebooted the notification bar remained the same. I pulled SystemUI.apk again to verify it was the one I installed and indeed it was.

Afterwards, I 'greped' Clock for all references of Clock and commented them all out. Same thing, no changes

So, my question is what am I doing wrong?

Even better, are there any links docs that describe the architecture/process of generating the UI?

I've found guides saying to edit .smali files or this.xml & that.xml but I am really in the dark, how all this comes together.

Also, what's the role of framework-res.apk?

Sorry for the length, looking forward for your feedback

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anarkista7:
I think your problem can be the filesystem format.

If you were o last Qarx Rom that is on 2ndboot and this use the EXT4 format for filesystem.

If you wanna install CM7.2. WIUI or Stock ROMs, you need get back to the EXT3 FS.

For that to work, is good that from recovery format data/cache and dalvik on ext3 followed by WIPEs,

then, flash the custom CM7.2 WIUI or other non 2nd Boot ROM.

To format, you need go to your BootMenu and select Tools ===> File System Tools and

Format DATA and CACHE in ext3 :> This erase your data and apps but you can back to whatever non 2nd Boot ROM for your phone.

I hope this help U.

[LG Optimus Black] rrgrrg:
hey guys ,, i have finished all my work on viperx but im having difficulties for finding a suitable kernel to use without getting big battery drain ,,please select wisely ONLY according to battery life :angel:
[LG Optimus Black] agtpirrone:
I just tried Noobys kernel apart from stock one, I sometimes get excelent battery life, using almost 5hours of wifi, like 48 hours, but some days i cant get through the day, I think is related to my installed apps..

I wish i had tried more kernels to help you decide which one to use in your ROM, because im actually using Nemesis 2, but happens that i find both (rom+kernel) very stable for everyday use, and want to keep it like that.
[LG Optimus Black] t0g3:
IMO, The most important thing to chose a kernel is first it should stable, then good battery life. For include in your ROM I suggest you use the kernel that stable for everyone. As you know, every device has it own limitation, how high it can handle the clock, how low it can handle the voltage.

Why?

Some user dont know what custom kernel is, and what the advantages and disadvantages if using custom kernel. Some user usually flash and use the ROM as it is. If they flash the ROM and the ROM doesnt stable for them, mostlikely they will say something like "The ROM is not stable, I got SOD" or "This ROM is sucks, often reboot by itself". Yes, they will blame the ROM, whereas actually it because their device cant handle the UV or OC kernel.

Also you can write suggestion to use custom kernel to gain more battery life/performance in your ROM's thread.

The users can easily to flash other kernel that they like after they flash the ROM.

Well, this is just my thought. The decisions is up to you :)

----------------

as for the poll, I choose ZGK v0.1-beta, coz:

- 200/500/700/1000/1100 (OC not too high so it save, 200 as min clock good battery in deep sleep)

- stock voltage (no SOD)

- stable for my old P970, and battery drain is good enough
